Best. Vacation. Ever.

Submitted May 2025

By Deb

From Boston

Mallorca is a magical, beautiful place - and bicycle is the best way to see it. The food, the hotels, the views - everything is amazing. The rides can be challenging (or the vans are there to help as much or as little as you want), but the feeling of completing those climbs is also incredible. If this trip isn't already on your list to take, it should be. The Backroads team did a great job of handling literally all the details. Jordan and Isaac handled all the logistics seamlessly. The route rap presentations every morning were a tour de force display. They took our dinner orders in the morning so we wouldn't have to think about it after a long day riding (and to save some time too). Evan was great too, always having the van set up with snacks where we needed it and available for rides too.

Magical! Surpassed all expectations!

Submitted May 2025

By Don

From Danville, California USA

"Magical" is how my new Backroads friend, Les, described the adventure and I can't think of a better word. Stunning venues, routes to match each skill level, incredible trip leaders who make everyone feel like part of the family. The extremely knowledgeable Backroads team did all the research and planning to make everything flow so smoothly, yet at every venue, the trip leaders added individual flexibility to ensure that everyone felt like it was their special day.

Our Mallorca Backroads Trip was Amazing

Submitted May 2025

By Kevin

From Chelan, Washington

This was our first Backroads trip, and it didn't disappoint! Max and Isaac were phenomenal hosts and leaders. The cycling was challenging but accomplishable on a road bike. They have powerful e-bikes for those who weren't quite as avid cyclists. These were among the most scenic and enjoyable rides we've ever done, especially Sa Calobra and Cap de Formentor. The hotels, food, and activities were all wonderful. We had a lot of fun with the people we traveled with and felt like we made some new, lifelong friends as well. We highly recommend Backroads, generally, and this trip, specifically.

World-Class Cycling, Accommodations and Tour of Mallorca

Submitted May 2025

By Allie

From Kailua, HI

I valued the knowledge my trip experts had on Mallorca from a cultural perspective, and for cycling or any other activity we did. My expectations seemed to be exceeded every hour of the trip. There is so much thought put into the planning to create the best experience for the time spent in Mallorca. I felt like we covered so much in 6 days, but I still have a curiosity to return to Mallorca to see more now that I have been exposed to the island's rich history, culture and nature.

Best cycling in the world

Submitted September 2024

By Sa Colabra

From Seattle, WA

My wife and I have been on 4 backroads trips together. This one and Tuscany biking are the favorites. The cycling in Mallorca is quite simply hard to beat. Our guides, Eder and Richi were fun, lively, knowledgeable, and the focal point of the trip. They did a wonderful job, and we hope to be on a trip with them again! This trip is tough with the climbing, but the views, the road quality, and the hotels/food make it all worth it. Highly recommend this trip!

The riding is challenging but doable, and makes one feel so very accomplished. Every corner or switchback there was an incredible view to keep you riding hard. Such a memorable trip.

Cyclist's Paradise

Submitted September 2023

By Scott

From Boston

A fantastic trip - unbelievable views and scenery. Another winner from backroads. Our guides Anna, Max and our tour support Dani were all excellent. Hotels were gorgeous and it was great to have some time to walk around and explore Valldemossa for the dinner on our own evening. The absolute star of the show were the cycling routes however - epic days along the coast with the ride out to the lighthouse at Cap Formentor and the ride to Sa Calobra (including going up and down even though that was not on the actual itinerary) being bucket list rides for me. Our guides were flexible enough to allow to me ride down to Sa Calobra and back up the famous road - one of my top 3 days on a bike all-time. It is very hilly however - if climbing (or descending) on a bike is not your thing, I strongly suggest an e-bike. 3/4 of our group had e-bikes and could complete the rides without a problem. First time (of 5 trips) that I am contemplating returning to do it again in the future.
